Strictly Come Dancing will bench two of its six new professional dancers this year, RadioTimes.com understands.
This year's full line-up will include 15 celebrities (of which ten have so far been confirmed). And with a 17-strong pro list already announced, that means two will be left without a famous dance partner.
AJ Pritchard, Chloe Hewitt, Neil Jones, Oksana Platero, Katya Jones and Gorka Marquez were announced as the new pros last month. And while it seems somewhat party pooping to bring in new professionals only for them to be discounted from having a full-time celebrity to train up, sources close to the show argue that the alternative was not an option.
